In-Person Event
Join fellow founders for a breakfast conversation on how AI can actually support ClimateTech growth and execution.
On May 19 at 42 Berlin, Urban Impact, Enjins, and 42 Berlin are bringing together founders, operators, implementation experts, and technical talent to discuss what AI realistically delivers for ClimateTech companies, beyond the hype, buzzwords, and generic automation narratives.
We’ll talk about the challenges early-stage teams face: balancing pressure to innovate quickly with limited resources, infrastructure constraints, and the complexity of implementing AI in a meaningful way. Expect practical insights, grounded examples, and honest exchange with people actively building in the space.

Digital Event
Is the US the right next market for your startup, and what does expansion actually look like in practice?
In this session, we’ll hear from Chris Walla (BATWorks) and Holland Cathey (Swobbee), two people working directly in the US urban and climate tech ecosystem. From NYC’s climate innovation landscape to Swobbee’s expansion from Berlin to New York, the conversation will focus on practical lessons, market realities, and opportunities for international startups entering the US.
We’ll also share what’s ahead for Berlin Future Hub in 2026–2027, including details on the November delegation trip to NYC. Designed for Berlin-based startups and SMEs in urban tech, climate, gov tech, smart cities, and social impact exploring international growth.
